Protest the Hero Tickets - Band History

Protest the Hero began in Whitby, Ontario, Canada in 1999. The band's early years were marked by down-to-earth approaches to recognition. Until 2005, they only released EP's (2001's Happy Go Lucky and 2002's Search for the Truth). To raise publicity, they toured, released music videos, and manually handed out lyrics to concert attendees. Eventually, they signed to Underground Operations and released their debut album Kezia. Though the album didn't crack any major charts, it helped them win fans who enjoyed their brand of metal, and is considered a classic by Protest the Hero listeners today. From there, the band only escalated in popularity. 2008's Fortress peaked at number 1 on Canadian charts and helped put the band on the map for many new listeners. Their songs also began to be featured in video games, most notably in NHL 2K9, NHL09 and various Guitar Hero games. Though their 2011 album Scurrilous didn't necessarily break any new ground in terms of commercial success, Protest the Hero continues to produce music.
